Struggling Huddersfield will host Stoke City in their third Championship game of the new season on Saturday.

Huddersfield come into this game on the back of their second defeat in a row to Birmingham. Two first-half goals were enough to seal their fate in the last game, despite Danny Ward's 61st-minute consolation strike. They currently sit at the bottom of the division.

The visitors, on the other hand, got their campaign back on track with a 2-0 win over Blackpool last weekend. This was a must-win for the Potters after their opening day setback against Millwall.

Huddersfield vs Stoke City Prediction

Huddersfield are in desperate need of points after losing their opening two encounters in the division. Their defeat to Birmingham came as a real surprise to many given the gulf between the two teams. Despite an inspired second-half performance, they failed to overcome a two-goal deficit.

The game against Stoke will be crucial to their prospects of finally picking up a few points in their tally.

Nonetheless, the visitors will look to maintain the momentum they earned against Blackpool and continue to pour more misery on the hosts.

Huddersfield need to find more scoring options apart from Danny Ward to challenge Stoke this weekend. As things stand, they have a lot to improve on to get anything out of this game.

A victory for Stoke is on the cards.

Prediction: Stoke City 3-2 Huddersfield
